A decorative and filtering branched marine sponge

The Callyspongia sp. is a marine sponge with a branched shape or in tube form, renowned for its exceptional filtering power. It is capable of capturing suspended particles, helping to keep the water clean and clear in the aquarium. Its soft texture and natural shape make it an excellent addition to reef aquariums.

A robust and low-maintenance sponge

An essential ecological role in the aquarium

Like all sponges, the Callyspongia sp. plays an important role in improving water quality. It filters fine particles and microorganisms, helping to maintain clean and balanced water, ideal for other corals and fish in the reef.

Lighting and water flow
